THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY

CHAPTER-49

UNEDITED

I heard a gun shot..along with a groan..i screamed,closing my eyes..but i realized that i was okay..i wasn't the one who got shot.
I opened my eyes and saw Fenus standing in front of me..as if he's trying to protect me from the shot..

what happened?

Fenus turned to me..i looked at him cluelessly. He dropped to the ground. And i saw blood coming from his chest.

My voice cracked..i tried myself to speak but it won't come out. i shivered. I screamed but my voice didn't come out.

" Savana...hold Luke's hand.." Avalon said.

I gave her a questioned look. I'm going out of breath.

" DO IT!" she shouted. Her teeth sharpened and became longer. Her face turned white and her lips turned red blood.

My hands shivered as i held his hands. i blinked my tears off. She held our hands..and looked at Luke and then at me.. She turned to dad who's now raising his gun again..

He pressed the trigger and i closed my eyes as if i'm ready to face everything..

i heard the gun shot at the same time i heard a groan.

I opened my eyes..Dad's staring at me with his eyes bulged out and his hand on the back of his head. He turned back and i saw Roger with a thick wooden piece on his hand. He hit on his head again with the wooden piece.

" ROGER NOO!!!!" i screamed.

Dad turned his gun to roger,while Roger held dad's hand and tried to put the gun down.

" I won't let you hurt any one i love AGAIN!!" Roger shouted bringing dad's hand on the front,trying to stop him.

Suddenly i felt Avalon holding my hand tighter and tighter..her long nails digging into my skin.
I looked at her and i saw her Red eyes,fixed on dad and roger. So sharp that i understood her whole power was in her eyes now. It was her..she's the one making Roger do this..

" Avalon..stop!!" i said.

She ignored me.

" Leave my hand or you 're gonna get hurt TOO!" dad shouted. He pressed the trigger again and again. I heard continuous gun shots.

" Nooooooooooo!!!!!!" I screamed.

I saw both of them holding still. Tears fell down my face. Roger left dad's hand, looking shocked.
For a moment everything stood still.

All i could hear is my heart beat..

I saw dad collapsing down,keeping his hand on his stomach. I saw blood coming from his stomach.

Roger stood shocked. He dropped the gun from his hand. He kept his hands on his mouth.

Roger shot my dad.. No this is not true.

" Roger..." my voice barely came out.." Avalon..what have you DONE!!!!!" I shouted and cried.

She turned back to normal. Like how she first appeared in front of me except that her eyes turned blood red.

" Don't worry..he won't be in trouble..there will be no evidence that he killed him.." she said looking at our hands.

Suddenly Luke's fingers moved..
I looked at him. he opened his eyes slowly. He looked at me and then at her. His eyes bulged out..and he ran out of breath. She was visible to him.
Avalon kept her hands on his face.He held my hand tighter and she closed his eyes with her hands.

" Sleep well...luke.." She said and then turned to me. " Savana.."

I looked at her.

" This is my last night here..in this world..i have to leave before the sunrise.." she said looking somewhere else as if she's dreaming.
